The Earth's lowest rock layer, typically referred to as the "basement" or the oldest sedimentary layers, is generally associated with ancient geological periods. Among the options you've provided, the organisms most likely to be found in these deep, older rock layers are bacteria.
Bacteria are among the earliest life forms on Earth and have existed for billions of years, long before the evolution of more complex organisms like snails, reptiles, and dinosaurs, which appear in more recent geological layers. Snails, reptiles, and dinosaurs belong to more recent geological periods, thus they are less likely to be found in the oldest (lowest) rock layers.
